The Department of
Justice is pursuing reform specifically at Julia Tutwiler Prison for Women in
Wetumpka, where rampant sexual abuse has occurred for decades, according to a
DOJ report.

The investigation
suggested "that
the systemic deficiencies at Tutwiler that facilitated staff sexual misconduct
may also lead to excessive use of force, constitutionally inadequate conditions
of confinement, constitutionally inadequate medical and mental health care, and
discriminatory treatment."
